Re: [JAVA3D] Icon

Patrik: If your application is of class MyClass, and your icon is "myIcon.gif" in the same folder as your class file, you can use the following (for a class extending JFrame): this.setIconImage(Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage(MyClass.class.get Resource("myIcon.gif"))); Chris =

Re: [JAVA3D] mixing Swing w/ Java3D [keyboard issues]

Kevin, I also had the problem you mention about keyboard accelerators not working after mouse interaction with the canvas. It is a focus issue as far as I can tell. I worked around this issue using requestFocus() for the content pane, to get focus back from the canvas after every mouse click.

Re: [JAVA3D] confession of a demoralised j3d sucker

Well Markus, I just saw the movie "Final Fantasy" (don't bother) and that made me feel a little inadequate when I saw the amazing 3d animation in that, compared to my J3D wireframes of simple boats!! However, my wireframe boat program is ready for publication, so I don't feel stupid. :) Good l

Re: [JAVA3D] Closing a JDialog

Have your thought about using a JOptionPane? I think it's better if you only want a warning message to show. Something like this has all the buttons and closing methods built in: JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(ParentFrame, warnMessage, "Warning", JOptionPane.YES_NO_OPTION ); There are also show

Re: [JAVA3D] Memory handling

You can try a trial version of the program "OptimizeIt", which will allow you to track the number of instances of each type of object while your program is running, and the amount of memory they take up. This program helped me out a lot last week. Just search for OptimizeIt on any shareware site

Hello Nikolaos, I'm pretty sure that the appearance is assigned by reference. I am using several Shape3D with IndexQuadArrays, all assigned the same appearance object. To change the appearance fill state of the entire scene, I just retrieve one appearance and change the PolygonAttributes, and t

Re: [JAVA3D] Picking - all help is appreciated

Hi Bruno,   I've been working on a geometry editing program for a while now, and part of it includes simple point picking.  You have to do a bit of work to set it up.  You have to set the picking capabilities of the geometries you want to be able to pick.  Also, you have to enable pick reporting

Re: [JAVA3D] Simplest dot.

Hi Bob! You can display dots using a PointArray geometry. With this you can have as many or few dots as you want. You can also change the size or color by setting the appearance of your point array with setAppearance( myAppearance = new Appearance ()) then changing the PointAttributes with myAp

Re: [JAVA3D] PickResult on Shape3D with multiple geometry

There are still some restrictions, Andrew. With multiple geometries, they must all be of the same sub class. For instance you can't have a PointArray and an IndexedGeometryArray on the same Shape3D. You'll see when you read the API. Chris -Original Message- From: Andrew R. Thomas-Cram
